Without a co-leader, whose whereabouts are still a mystery, Paul subbed in at the last minute to save the hike.  Sir Tom should be stripped of his self-imposed noble title like Harry.  Seven came out on the 8-mile round trip to Chub Pond, which was a fairly easy, level trail.  With minimal snow, snowshoes were not needed nor were micro- spikes.  Mud boots would have worked with some of the trail, but it was navigable.

We stopped briefly at Buck Pond for Phyllis to take a couple of pics, then pressed on for lunch at the #2 lean-to.

The lean-to, being  right on the pond was absolutely spectacular and the caretaker was notified via text by Jim, Paul and Dave.  The weather was fantastic.  It was mainly overcast with brief periods of sun, hovering in the low 30’s with very little wind.  The next hike, we’ll tack on the additional two miles to the other lean-to.
